Abstract

To control the products quality and ensure the benign development of HVAC&R industry, it is of great importance to test and measure the quality of HVAC&R products. Due to the reality of diversification of HVAC&R products, unifunctional platform cannot meet the needs of test. In this paper, a multifunctional testing platform was founded, which can complete various performance tests of different kinds of HVAC&R products. Based on this multifunctional testing platform, a measurement and control system were designed. The software of this system was developed with VB, and different kinds of communication protocol were used to achieve the connection between the computer and instruments of data acquisition and control. Several key points such as data acquisition, data storage, and real-time curve were described in this paper. A period of use shows that, the multifunctional testing platform can achieve the various performance tests of various different kinds of HVAC&R products with good reliability, stability, and precision. Also, it indicates that the structure and functions of this system were suitable.
